Make the Move to Metrum Community Credit Union
Big banks have the advantage of inertia. Moving your checking and savings accounts is not as
simple as switching grocery stores. You’ll have to maintain both your new and old accounts for
a few weeks until everything switches over. That can be a little tricky, especially if you’re living
paycheck to paycheck. After you’ve found your new home at Metrum Community Credit Union,
follow this simple sequence and use the organizer found on the back of this page. It should go
smoothly and, in a few weeks, you’ll be completely moved over.
1.
Open your new Metrum Community Credit Union checking account.
When your checking account is opened, be sure to order your VISA Debit/ATM
Card for convenient access to your account.
2.
Move your automatic deposits such as direct deposit to your new account
a. Enclosed in this packet, letters are provided for you to send to the institutions that
debit and credit your old account. These are generic forms; it will be possible
that the institution in which you are making changes with may require the use of
their own forms.
i. Switch Instructions for Direct Deposit and Payroll
ii. Switch Instructions for Automatic Deposits (other than payroll)
iii. Switch Instructions for Automatic Payments
3.
Contact companies that direct-debit your account.
Using your last bank statement, make a list of any businesses that you’ve
authorized to directly debit your account. Use the letters provided to assist you.
4.
Close your old account
a. When all automatic transactions have been switched and all your outstanding
checks and transactions have cleared, use the Switch Instructions for Account
Closure to notify your old bank to close your account and send you a check for
the balance. You may also want to check with the old bank to obtain their own
procedures.
Warning: do not just withdraw the last dollar and assume the account will fade
away on its own. Many financials will charge fees for having an empty or inactive
account. Instead, follow the bank’s procedure for closing out the account.
You can check your new MCCU account online to see when your automatic deposits and
payments have switched. Remember, use the Organizer to keep track. If you have any
questions during the process, just call us at 303-770-4468 and talk with one of our friendly
Member Service Representatives.
